The Festival Series is heading back to Tallinn, Estonia, for a full-scale stop running November 20-29, 2026. This follows a smaller Festival Weekend held in the city earlier in July, but this time organizers are bringing the complete Festival experience to the Estonian capital.
The series is known for combining low buy-ins with a wide mix of poker formats, and Tallinn will be no exception. Alongside standard No-Limit Hold’em events, players can expect Pot-Limit Razz, Sviten Special, and even non-poker options like blackjack, roulette, slots, and sportsbook contests. In total, more than 70 tournaments are scheduled across the 10-day festival.
The centerpiece of the series is the €555 buy-in Main Event, expected to draw a large crowd to the Olympic Park Casino. The event previously ran in Tallinn in 2022, when Norway’s Eirik Kristiansen won after outlasting 551 entrants, earning €56,100 from a €264,960 prize pool.
Players looking to qualify online have several options. OlyBet, available in Estonia, Finland, Latvia, and Lithuania, offers a €22 satellite every Thursday at 9:00 p.m. CET awarding three €200 side-event tickets, followed by a €55 satellite offering two Main Event seats.
Other iPoker Network sites, including bet365, Grosvenor Poker, and Red Star Poker, are running satellites for €1,850 packages covering travel and entry costs.
This marks the final Festival Series stop of 2026, with the tour set to return to Bratislava, its original home since 2021, from February 8-14, 2027. Several Tallinn events will carry €1,600 Bratislava packages as added prizes.
